Shourya angrily took Pakki from the doctor's office. Pakki was trembling.

Shourya : Patralekha....why are you  making things difficult for me?

Pakki : I didn't.

Shourya : (angrily, holding her hand tightly)Do you think you can move freely anywhere because I allowed you for the garden....No Patralekha...No.
.
.
You are not allowed anywhere without my permission.

Pakki was shocked as well as scared. His eyes turned red. His loud anger words startled her.She saw another version  of Shourya. 

Shourya : You will be grounded in the  dark room.

Pakki : what...are you saying?

Shourya : That's the punishment.

Shourya pulled her rashly and threw her into the dark room in the basement.Pakki was crying, begging. But Shourya didn't listen a bit.

Even Shourya didn't know why he was so angry. But his inner voice was saying
.
.
.

She is Mine....only Mine.

Patralekha belongs to Shourya only.

In the Dark room 

Pakki was crying a lot. She was more scared to see Shourya's other version.

Pakki : Why is this happening to me? Why me?
.
.
He behaves like caring.....on the other hand ..... he hurts me badly...what does he want from me?

Pakki was still worried about Shourya's strange behaviour.

In Shourya's room 

Shourya was upset. He was not in his senses.

Shourya (inner voice) : Mine...She is only mine......mine......only mine.

Shourya : Stop.....just stop.(angrily)
.
.
Yes...she is mine.

Shourya : (inner voice) If you want her.... make her yours..... Otherwise she will be taken away.

Shourya : No....No one will take her away from me.
.
.
She is only Mine.

He punched the mirror. His hand was bleeding. Suddenly Dark appears.

Dark : Is it painful? I can make you comfortable.

Shourya : No.

Dark : Just accept me.....I will give you everything....your desire too.

Shourya : No.

Dark : Think....what will you do...if anyone takes Pakki away from you ?

Shourya : No one....in this life.

Dark : (smiling) Your Father will be coming tomorrow. Let's see.

Dark disappeared.

Shourya : No...No one can take her away from me.

In the Dark room

Pakki was scared of dark. No maids have approached her even the head maid.She knows... no one here are trustworthy. But what about Shakti Agnihotri. where did he go after the party? Why did he suddenly disappear?
Pakki has no answer for any of these questions. She was comforting and calming herself. She needs to rely on herself.

Pakki : (sadly)Partha.... Please be safe. Don't worry about me. I can withstand all these difficulties. But Please protect yourself. You are my only hope for survival. (crying badly)

Pakki clearly understood that her life is in Shourya's hands. She has become Shourya's plaything. In other words,
